Hi there, I’m Megan!
I’m a Certified Nutrition Specialist and perimenopause nutrition expert based in Brooklyn, NY. But before we get to credentials, let me tell you why I do this work.
I’ve Been That Person
For over a decade I worked in fashion, contributing to productions for Dolce and Gabbana, Cartier, Fenty, Tommy Hilfiger, H&M, and others. I managed collection spaces and ateliers, bridged creative and production teams, sourced materials, hired artisans, and became the person who could translate between the people with the vision and the people making it real. It was demanding, detail-intensive work, and I loved it. I was also quietly falling apart.
I wasn’t sleeping. My digestion was a disaster. I was getting what felt like food poisoning multiple times a month. I thought it was the industry, the pace, just the price of doing this kind of work. It took my therapist telling me directly: this is not normal, you need to see a doctor.
She was right. Getting better changed everything. I went completely deep into learning how the body actually works: what food does at a cellular level, how hormones shape everything from your mood to your metabolism. I couldn’t stop reading. I started sharing everything I was learning with anyone on set who would listen. And somewhere in the middle of a production for a major fashion house, I realized I cared more about that conversation than the job I was being paid to do.
So I went back to school.
Then Perimenopause Hit
I earned my MS in Nutrition and became a CNS. I completed a Functional Nutrition Residency at Dr. Kara Fitzgerald’s Sandy Hook Clinic, working alongside MDs and NDs on complex cases. I built a clinical practice. And then my own body started shifting in ways I recognized immediately from my clients: hot flashes waking me up at 3am, brain fog that made me lose a word mid-sentence, joints aching after workouts that used to feel easy, new PMS appearing out of nowhere, hair thinning, digestion changing, motivation dipping, libido shifting, skin breaking out like I was 17 again.
I also navigated six pregnancy losses. Each one sent my hormones into freefall. And each one taught me something that has profoundly shaped how I practice: fertility is a window into whole-body health, for both partners. Nothing in the body operates in isolation. The most unexpected things, things you would never connect to reproductive health, turn out to matter enormously. I carry that understanding into every clinical relationship I have. I’m currently on my own IVF journey, and I work with my own practitioners the same way I ask my clients to: with the full picture on the table, no minimizing, no “your labs look fine.”
I know what it’s like to sit across from a doctor and be told everything is normal when nothing feels normal. I know what it’s like to do all the right things and still feel like your body isn’t cooperating. The women who come to me aren’t looking for someone to hand them a meal plan. They’re looking for someone who actually gets it.
I do.
What I Bring to This Work
My years in fashion taught me things that still shape how I practice. I spent a long time working with brands to understand how women relate to their bodies: not just biologically, but how they feel in them, how they move through the world, how quietly losing that connection erodes everything else. That attunement to the full picture of a woman’s experience, not just her labs, is baked into how I work.
Clinically, I look at blood sugar regulation, gut health, stress, sleep, hormones, and environmental exposures. I use the Perimenopause Matrix framework, six pillars covering how you fuel, move, sleep, regulate, connect, and engage with your environment, to make sure nothing gets missed.
I present at conferences, educate corporate teams on perimenopause health and workplace benefits navigation, and host the weekly podcast Mornings with Megan.
